Love Me Back

I don’t want to chase you.

I don’t want to beg.

I just want the love I give...

to come back to me.

I think about you in the quiet

When the whole world slows down

I reach for my phone like maybe

Your name will come around

I miss your voice before I hear it

I miss your hands before they’re here

I miss the way you used to hold me

Like the future felt so near

I miss the talks about forever

All the plans we almost made

I miss the way our minds would meet

Like our hearts were on the same page

We talked about love, about life

About the kind of home we’d make

I thought our hearts were speaking fluent

Till the day you stepped away

Now I’m holding broken promises

From a love that's slipping away

Sometimes I swear I feel you

Like you’re reaching through the line

Then I’m left here in the silence

Wondering if I’m on your mind

I don’t need perfect

I don’t need all your time

I just need to know

That your heart reaches for mine

Love me

The way I love you

Want me

The way I want you

Don’t make me wonder

Don’t make me ask

Don’t leave me holding

What you won’t give back

I give you my heart

I give you my truth

But I can’t keep loving

Enough for us two

Meet me where I’m reaching

Show me you feel it too

Baby, love me

The way I love you

I give you softness when you’re tired

I give you room when you need air

I try to understand your silence

Even when it leaves me scared

I know your life gets heavy

I know you’ve got things to face

But I’m still standing in the middle

Trying to find my place

You make me feel so close sometimes

Then I don’t know where I stand

I don’t want to force your heart

I just want to hold your hand

Maybe it’s fear, maybe it’s timing

Maybe you don’t know what to do

But I’m tired of loving loudly

When all I get are whispers from you

Sometimes I swear you need me

Then you act like you don’t

Sometimes I feel your heart there

Then you leave me alone

Don’t make me feel chosen

Only when we’re alone

If I’m yours in the quiet

Don’t leave me unnamed in the noise

Are you scared of loving me

The way I’m loving you?

I don’t need forever all at once

I just need something true

I didn’t love you from the surface

I loved you with my soul

Let you in so deep

You felt like home inside of me

You were sewn into my spirit

Threaded through my chest

Then you pulled away so easy

Like you didn’t leave a mess

Now I’m healing at the seams

Trying to breathe through what we had

Trying to love myself enough

Not to beg for your love back

But God, I still want you

And that’s the part that hurts

I keep reaching for the man

Who made forever sound so real

Then left me holding words

Repeat chorus with stronger emotion, bigger electric guitar, aching harmonies

I don’t want to chase you

I don’t want to beg

I just want the love I give

To find its way back

I don’t need perfect

I just need true

I just want to know

You feel it too

Baby, love me

The way I love you
